The Record

SAN ANDREAS — Drunken drivers and others ticketed for violating the state Vehicle Code got a break Tuesday from the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors.

One member of the board had proposed tacking an extra $5 onto the bail amount for anyone ticked for a Vehicle Code violation in Calaveras County. Supervisor Steve Wilensky had proposed that the money raised would fund a reward program that pays witnesses $100 or more to turn in drunken drivers.

But a board majority killed the idea , saying they didn't want speeders and other non-intoxicated violators to have to pay for a program that targets drunken drivers.
